(“China Water”), Xu Hong Bin (“Xu”) and Kotex Development Limited (“Kotex” and together with “Xu,” the “Xu Transitioning Parties”) The Xu Transitioning Parties and Heckmann are collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

Mr. Xu, directly and through Kotex, received shares of Heckmann common stock in connection with the acquisition by Heckmann of China Water. Under this Agreement, Heckmann is repurchasing some of those shares, and the Parties are modifying certain aspects of their current relationship.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the acts, payments, covenants, and mutual agreements herein described and agreed to be performed, Heckmann and the Xu Transitioning Parties agree as follows:

1.1  Repurchase of Shares.

(a) Concurrently herewith, the Xu Transitioning Parties shall sell to Heckmann 13,032,100 shares of Heckmann stock. The Xu Transitioning Parties hereby authorize release of such shares from escrow. The certificates for the shares shall be returned to Heckmann, accompanied by such further instruments and such further information, including stock powers and tax declarations, as Heckmann shall reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. In consideration for the return of such shares, Heckmann shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the certificates and documents referenced above (when paid, the “Payment Date”), pay the Xu Transitioning Parties $14 million dollars (US).

(b) In addition, the balance of the 3,500,000 shares held in escrow will be returned to the Xu Transitioning Parties or their designees and the Xu Transitioning Parties and their designees may sell those shares, together with Xu’s 1,836,900 shares (totaling 5,336,900 shares) (the “Remaining Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3.

1.2   Reimbursement of Xu. On the Payment Date, Heckmann will reimburse Xu $6,000,000 for investments made by Xu personally on behalf of China Water after December 31, 2008 in the domestic manufacturing plants in People’s Republic of China.

1.3  Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Until May 1, 2009, Xu and Xu Transitioning Parties or their designated nominees agree that they will not sell, transfer or pledge any shares of Heckmann stock, or engage in any short sales of Heckmann shares or other securities, as those terms are defined below.

(b) With respect to the Remaining Shares, from and after May 1, 2009, the Xu Transitioning Parties or their designated nominees may sell any such Remaining Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided, however, that the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be sold during the period from May 1, 2009 to June 1, 2009 shall not exceed 150,000 shares and that the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be sold during each consecutive monthly period

thereafter shall not exceed 150,000 plus the aggregate number of shares not sold in previous monthly periods but capped at a total of 600,000 in any given month, unless the common stock of Heckmann trades at $10.00 per share or higher for five consecutive days, in which case, the number of shares that may be sold shall be unlimited, subject to Rule 144.

(c) Certificates representing the Remaining Shares will include legends reflecting their restricted status under the Securities Act of 1933, and the contractual limitations of Section 1.3(b).

Heckman shall not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Remaining Shares, except as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Xu Transitioning Parties and their designated designees. Heckmann shall not close its transfer books subsequent to receiving notice from the Xu Transitioning Parties or their designated designees regarding any transfer of the Remaining Shares.

without limitation, matters relating to the Acquisition, and any right such party may have to indemnification, defense or advancement of expenses. This release shall not apply to any breaches by the Xu Transitioning Parties of this Agreement.

2.3   Covenant Not to Sue. The Xu Transitioning Parties and Heckmann further covenant and agree not to institute, nor cause to be instituted, nor aid (except as required by law) any legal proceeding of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, in contract or tort or for personal injury, negligence or infliction of emotional distress, except that a party hereto may file a legal proceeding against the other solely to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

2.4  Indemnification.

Except as limited by law, Heckmann Corporation shall indemnify and defend Xu and hold Xu harmless from any and all Claims for losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorney’s fees, to which Xu may become subject that arise out of or in connection with Xu’s services either as officer or director of Heckmann or China Water, based on Xu’s representation that he has no knowledge or information of any pending or threatened claims against Heckmann and China Water, Heckmann and China Water will indemnify Xu or Related Parties for any Claims against Heckmann or China Water for the period prior to November 1, 2008.

2.5  Non-Solicitation.

(a) Xu hereby covenants with Heckmann that he will not, for two years, within the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) without the prior written consent of the Chairman of Heckmann, either alone or jointly with or on behalf of any person, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit for employment any Key Employee that is employed or engaged by Heckmann or China Water on March 10, 2009, or who was so employed or engaged at any time during the previous six (6) months; or

(ii) entice away, hire or engage for services or enter a business relationship with any Key Employee, vendor, supplier, customer, distributor or prospective customer or distributor of Heckmann or China Water as of March 10, 2009 or who had such a relationship or prospective relationship at any time during the previous six (6) months,

in each case in any manner or for any purpose that would or could be in competition with Heckmann or China Water.

“Key Employee” means any person who is employed by Heckmann and China Water, (a) with whom Xu has had contact during the course of his employment with Heckmann and China Water, and (b) either (i) is in the possession of confidential information and business secrets of Heckmann and China Water, or (ii) was directly managed by or reported to Xu.

(b) Severability and Enforcement. The covenants contained in this Section 2.5 are intended to be separate and severable and enforceable as such, and to be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any restriction contained in this Agreement is for any reason held by a court or arbitration tribunal to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographical scope, or subject, then such restriction will be construed, reformed, or judicially modified, as necessary in such jurisdiction so as to thereafter be limited or reduced to the extent required to be enforceable in such jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. If any restriction contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect

any other provision of this Agreement or any other jurisdiction, but such restriction will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable restriction had never been contained in this Agreement.

(c) Injunctive Relief. Xu acknowledges that the remedy at law for his breach of this Section 2.5 will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach will not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a breach or threatened breach of this Section 2.5, Heckmann will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) and may obtain a temporary order restraining any breach or further breach. No bond or other security will be required to obtain such relief, and Xu consents to the issuance of such equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 2.5 will be deemed to limit Heckmann’s remedies at law or in equity that may be pursued or availed of by Heckmann for any breach or threatened breach by Xu of any part of this Section 2.5.

(d) Independent Consideration. The covenants contained in this Section 2.5 have been agreed by the parties hereto to be reasonable and in exchange for reasonable and mutually agreed consideration including under this Agreement and pursuant to Heckmann’s acquisition of China Water. The business of Heckmann is highly competitive, the terms of this Section 2.5 are material to the parties’ willingness to enter into this Agreement, and the terms and conditions of this Section 2.5 are not more restrictive than is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Heckmann and China Water.

2.6   Confidential Information. Xu acknowledges that, during the course of his employment with Heckmann Corporation and China Water, and as a director of Heckmann Corporation and CEO of China Water & Drinks Inc., he has had in the past access to confidential business information and secrets of Heckmann Corporation and China Water. Xu agrees that he will for two years hold the confidential business information and secrets in the strictest confidence, and that he will not use or attempt to use or disclose to any other person or entity any confidential information or business secrets of Heckmann Corporation and China Water without the prior written authorization of Heckmann Corporation and China Water. The restrictions of this confidential information covenant do not apply to any confidential information and secrets of Heckmann Corporation and China Water that (a) have entered into the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality of which Xu is aware, or (b) solely to the extent and for the duration required, is required to be disclosed under a validly-issued court order, pursuant to a request by government regulators, and which disclosure Heckmann Corporation and China Water are unable legally to prevent.
